It is getting closer and closer to Zhengyuan, and the nobles and scholars of Chang'an finally noticed that something is wrong. They found that there had been people selling the Divine Beads for half a month, and they had purchased more than two hundred of them themselves.

The first batch is indeed scattered outside, but it can't be sold every day. After noticing that something was wrong, the family clan gathered together for the first time.

In a large box on the second floor of the Cui family's Yunlai Restaurant, the representatives of the eighteen families were all here at this time. Including Jingzhao Weidu two.

"Everyone is here, I'll talk first. Our Cui family feels that something has been wrong lately. There seem to be a lot of people selling divine beads.

There are indeed a lot of people in the first batch who bought the Divine Beads, but they should have been almost collected.

But recently, our Cui family has purchased a total of 231 divine beads. There are no large quantities of sales, they are all a few or a dozen, and people sell them every day. Cui Renzhi was the first to speak

"We too, we recently acquired two hundred and sixty-four," said someone from the Xiao family in Lanling

"Our royal family bought two hundred and nine"

"Our Yang family has two hundred and fifty-two"

"Our Li family in Zhao County has two hundred and seventy-one ones."

Eighteen companies said one by one the amount of their recent purchases. The less is the Wang family's two hundred and nine. The most Wei family is 294. The eighteen families added up to more than 4,500, and everyone present was surprised.

"How can there be so many, at most half of the first batch is outside. The second batch is only 1,000 outside. It doesn't add up to more than three thousand. The rest is in the hands of us and Xungui. Wang Weiqi said in surprise

"Could it be that Xungui is also selling. But even this is not the right amount. The first batch consisted of only 3,000 in total. Choi also felt that something was not right.

"Unless the Ji Wangfu is also selling. He should have more than two thousand in his hand. ”

"No way, my people have been staring at the boutique pavilion, and they are also buying. And it's also sold every day, and my people have seen money being pulled from the boutique pavilion. Cui Renzhi said with great certainty.

"But what the hell is going on, our Yang family's gold in Chang'an is gone. Now they all use copper coins, and they have to pull two or three hundred carts out every day. ”

"It's the same with our Zheng family."

"Could it be that the Tianzhu merchant lied to us? The first batch was not three thousand. "The patriarch of the Li family in Zhao County looked a little irritable.

"But that Tianzhu merchant returned to Tianzhu, and we couldn't find anyone to question."

"Bang bang bang" At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Didn't I say that? Nothing important don't bother us. Cui Renzhi was a little annoyed at the moment

"My lord, I have something to report." A voice sounded outside the door

Cui Renzhi got up to open the door, and saw Cui Wang standing outside the door.

"Tell me something. We have important things to discuss. Choi was impatient

"My lord, the subordinate who was just staring at the boutique pavilion came back to spread the word, saying that the boutique pavilion had just changed a sign at the door. Replace the brand from which the Divine Bead was purchased with the brand that sells the Divine Bead. And the price is 2,000 pieces. ”

"What!" Hearing Cui Wang's words in the private room, everyone's faces changed. Cui Renzhi shouted even more.

"The boutique has just started selling the Divine Beads. The price is two thousand yuan," Cui Wang repeated.

"You go down first." Choi In-ji closed the door with a dark face.

"Could it be that this King Ji also sensed that something was wrong?" The patriarch of the Du family guessed

At this moment, Wei Renji, who had not spoken, said: "You say, could it be that King Ji is playing ghosts, and he sold those divine beads to us." We stopped buying it today, and he started selling it. ”

"No matter what, we have to think of a way to sell the Divine Bead to King Ji's Mansion. And it's sold at a reduced price, and someone will soon follow suit. Langya Wang's family said

"There are only two plans for now, and the first one is that we will sell them, but we may not be able to sell them. The second is to buy all the beads in their possession, and then they will be in our hands. We sell as much as we want. Wang Weiqu said

"We can still wait for the Tianzhu people to come back." A different approach has been proposed

"Huh. What if the Tianzhu merchant doesn't come back? "Wei Renji now feels more and more that this matter is related to King Ji's Mansion.

"Anyway, let's explore the reality of King Ji's Mansion first. Let's see how many of them he has. Why don't we send someone to the boutique to ask. ”

Cui Renzhi went downstairs and found Cui Wangdao, "You go to the boutique pavilion and ask them how many beads they have, just say that our Cui family wants to buy it, and return it immediately after asking." ”

Cui Wang immediately went to the boutique pavilion after receiving the order, and when Cui Wang arrived at the boutique pavilion, Wang Hongfu was also there.

"The king's shopkeeper is polite."

"Shopkeeper Cui, I don't know what's going on?" Wang Hongfu saw that it was Cui Wang, and immediately smiled

"I heard that you are selling divine beads, and our Cui family wants to buy them. I don't know how many of you there are. Cui Wang didn't talk nonsense, and explained his intentions directly.

"I'll tell you the truth, there aren't many. There are only more than 40 in total. The others have made congratulatory gifts for His Royal Highness King Ji to give to the concubine in a few days. Wang Hongfu smiled.

"More than forty, okay, I'll go back and talk to the owner. When the time comes, we'll pull the money over. After speaking, Cui Wang turned around and left.

Cui Wang quickly returned to Yunlai Restaurant and told the story again.

"Just more than forty?" Cui Renzhi put his mind at ease.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've just inquired about it. More than 40 pieces were sold in the boutique pavilion. I think it should be more than King Ji. Cui Renzhi went back upstairs and said to everyone.

"Then why didn't he keep it in his hands. Waiting for the Tianzhu people to come back is also a lot of income. Someone objected.

"No matter what. We took his orb first. Can't let him keep selling. Otherwise, the beads in everyone's hands will become less and less valuable. ”

"Yes. Brother Cui, please go and take back the Divine Bead first. We'll split it evenly with each family. ”

-------------------------------------

"Lord Wang, the shopkeeper has just arrived. Let me tell the prince that the Shenzhu has been bought by the Cui family. Now the king's treasurer is pulling money from the king's treasury. In Li Shen's study, Wang Xuance said to Li Shen.

"Well, it looks like it's time to cut the third crop." Li Shen said happily to Wang Xuance

"Then I'll start tomorrow as planned. But I suspect it won't be much. They should soon be suspicious. Wang Xuance analyzed

"It doesn't matter, the first two times are enough, this time it should be fast, I don't want to affect the common people. These people can do anything, and they have been sucking the blood of the world for many years. Li Shen waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Don't worry, I will let this matter end as soon as possible, but will they doubt us?"

"Suspicion is suspicion, they have no evidence, go ahead, in fact, we are also victims. Hahahaha"
